bitnami/postgresql is unable to start with volume mount. I am using 10.14.0 version of the official docker image.
Container starts without the volume mount:
docker run --rm --name postgresql -e POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD=password123 bitnami/postgresql:10.14.0

I am unable to find any solution to this. other containers don't seem to have this problem. Please help if anyone finds solution to this problem.
About PostgreSQL packaged by Bitnami PostgreSQL (Postgres) is an open source object-relational database known for reliability and data integrity. ACID-compliant, it supports foreign keys, joins, views, triggers and stored procedures. Download virtual machines or run your own postgresql server in the cloud.
Bitnami Engineer here,
As the Bitnami PostgreSQL container is a non-root container, the user with id 1001 needs to have write permissions in the local folder you are mounting.
sudo chown -R 1001:1001 /postgresql
